Hi, (sorry for my english I'm a telecomunications student from spain) I'm building a PDC with samba from a ldapbackend which was created without samba attributes...it's a very big database...does someone know how can I add the samba attributes to all users..? and what attributes I have to add so that the pdc have the next characteristics: - backend openldap(replica-server,it's

Hello. I'm trying to implement a single-sign-on system with MIT-Kerberos and OpenLDAP. These two are currently working pretty well, but now I'm trying to add samba to this system. I've found a lot of tutorials about samba PDC with LDAP backend, but this is of course not quite what I want. My passwords are stored in the kerberos database and userdata is stored in LDAP. Is there a way to

I was told recently that Kerberos authentication won't work against a non-windows KDC. Is that accurate? So for instance, it is not possible for Samba running on say RHEL, to authenticate against a Linux server running MIT Kerberos? Additionally, many people said that setting this up was well-documented. Any suggestions of particularly good docs / how-to's?' And lastly, is

I am trying, after login that samba will go directly to thei users home directory. But it doesn't happen. Please help. Here is my setup: logon home = \\%N\%U [homes] comment = %U's Home Directory valid users = %S read only = Yes browseable = no ## path = %H create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 guest ok = no printable = no

My apologies, I'm terribly sorry to belabor these PDC issues to the point where everyone is undoubtedly tired of hearing about them, but I have become absolutely obsessed with trying to solve this PDC problem. Here is what is happening now. I'm trying to connect to the Samba server which is set up as the PDC (domain PLAB) from windows client "venus". Windows prompts me to

The subject's a little misleading really, but I was looking for some clarification of my thoughts... In Windows, one can use both share permissions and NTFS permissions to control access to files. I would normally use share permissions to control a connection (allow/deny), and use NTFS to control access. I would never use share permissions to control access whilst NTFS was capable of

Dear List, We have just bought: * Dual AMD CPU, 8TB NAS, 4GB RAM (DNUK.COM) - SUSE 9.3 * Two Dell 2850, 3GB RAM, Dual Xeon 3.2GHz, 300GB Raid 5 - Fedora Core 4 Now obviously we want to use the Storage ;-) How would you guys recommend we proceed? Samba PDC on one 2850, LDAP Directory on second, and somehow mount the storage for the shares? Or run the PDC on the NAS, and keep the LDAP

Hi everybody. I attended the Samba conference at the FOSDEM yesterday. Jeremy Allison was great, and explained very clearly the problems faced by implementing an Active Directory controller. The CIFS protocol is required in heterogenous environments. Jeremy made it pretty clear that even in pure Unix environments, CIFS is quite superior to NFSv4. Samba is thus a required component of pretty

Hello, Sorry to be a pest, but I need to try to get some clarification of how the machine name works when setting up a machine account on the Samba server. The Samba How-To page http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2536400 talks about the "common error" of including the $ in the machine name on the server machine. However, all of the

Hi all, I'm new to Linux and Samba. I have two seperate hard drives, one has w2k and the other Red Hat Linux 7.3. Yessterday I struggeled to make the SWAT work. Then I realized that now I need to learn how to use SWAT. Before I invest time in learning how to use SWAT, my question is if I using w2k, can I access the hard drive that Linux is on and vice versa. Theis question came to my

Hi list, as a result of horrible error logs and no sleep I would be able to throw my smb2.2.4 out of the window and take a phone call to dell for a nt box ... but I'll try once again. I know, this is the wrong list, but maybe here I get more Developers. My simple question is: If my PDC (WinS -> named, system is SuSE 7.3 but newest versions of all relevant software) won't run as smooth

Hi I wonder if you can help me. I'm currently studying Networking as a college course and one of the challenges we have been set is to research, then put into practice the mapping of a linux server onto a Windows NT server. I'll be honest with you, I'm very new to all this so I hope I explain this correctly. I have successfully created my own smb.conf file, usernames, areas and a

Hi: The home directory isn't being maped to a letter (as in netuse h: /home). After the user chooses the machine the user must login, he then sees in the window a folder with the same name as his userid. The user must then choose this folder to enter his home directory. I want him to go directly into the folder without having to choose it. Regards,

Hi all, I apologize if I am getting into a subject that has been hashed and rehashed endlessly on this list, but I am just not finding exactly what I am looking for in terms of a response. At the moment, I have Linux and Solaris servers happily authenticating to my MIT Kerberos KDC, and fetching user information via an OpenLDAP server with a StartTLS connection (and authenticating to the LDAP

I moved an entire RH 6.2 server from one CPU to a new one using a tape backup/restore. Everything from the old server is working on the new server, but when SysV starts up smb, the nmbd daemon (2.0.6) exits with an error: create_subnets: No local interfaces! eth0 has already started according to the logs and console. Any ideas? Thanks. ______________________ Greg Kelley, IT Director SSA, EAA,

Dear all, I regret that I am very new to this tool from the install side. I have so far altered shares on a running machine only. I have (thanks to Joss for some help already) installed version 3.4.3 under AIX 6.1 giving it our preferred base directory of /opt/freeware/samba/3.4.3 I have copied over the smb.conf file from the source machine (AIX 5.2 / Samba 2.0.7) and tweaked the content of

I'm currently running version 2.0.7 of samba(CIFS9000). I have HPUX 11.x installed on the samba server. When I try to run this from inetd it doesn't work. I can run a startup script that runs the smbd as a daemon and it works fine. But if I try to run it from inetd it won't start. The previous version of Samba 1.9.18p10 that I had on this server worked fine. Is this a bug in
